Standing there alone
| The ship is waiting
| All systems are go
| "Are you sure?"
| Control is not convinced
| But the computer
| Has the evidence
| No need to abort
| The countdown starts
|
| Watching in a trance
| The crew is certain
| Nothing left to chance
| All is working
| Trying to relax
| Up in the capsule
| "Send me up a drink"
| Jokes Major Tom
| The count goes on
|
| 4, 3, 2, 1
| Earth below us
| Drifting, falling
| Floating weightless
| Calling, calling home
|
| Second stage is cut
| We're now in orbit
| Stabilizers up
| Running perfect
| Starting to collect
| Requested data
| "What will it affect
| When all is done?"
| Thinks Major Tom
|
| Back at ground control
| There is a problem
| "Go to rockets full"
| Not responding
| "Hello Major Tom
| Are you receiving?
| Turn the thrusters on
| We're standing by"
| There's no reply
|
| 4, 3, 2, 1
| Earth below us
| Drifting, falling
| Floating weightless
| Calling, calling home
|
| 4, 3, 2, 1
| Earth below us
| Drifting, falling
| Floating weightless
| Coming home
|
| Earth below us
| Drifting, falling
| Floating weightless
| Coming, coming home
| Home
